Obi-Wan jolted out of his meditative trance. Something was wrong. He reached out with the force and found that Luke was awake, but the distress that woke him wasn't coming from him. Obi-Wan glanced towards Anakin.

It was nighttime now and Anakin hadn't wanted to talk immediately after, so he had faked sleep. It was understandable but slightly bothersome. It seemed like in his exhaustion from the day before he had simply drifted.

Anakin was having another nightmare. Obi-Wan was about to wake him when Anakin shot up on his own. Obi-Wan flinched back at the sharp motion.

This had been going on long enough.

"Have they been about the same thing?" Obi-Wan asked, not really expecting an answer but hoping he would get one, "The nightmares, I mean."

Anakin proved him wrong by nodding.

Obi-Wan hesitated before asking his next question, "What have they been about?"

Anakin turned his head towards the wall of the ship they were in. "Luke," was all he said.

Obi-Wan's eyebrows rose and his words died on his lips. Well, that certainly wasn't good. Anakin had been known to get bleak visions. It most likely wasn't about sunshine and flowers. He tried again, "Are these the same dreams that—?"

Anakin answered his question before he finished, "Yes, they're visions."

"They're the same kind that you had with your mother, aren't they?"

Anakin nodded and added, "With Padmé too."

"Well…" Obi-Wan cleared his throat, "I'm sure—"

"Do you think you could check on him?" Anakin cut him off.

Obi-Wan quickly waved off his annoyance of being interrupted and answered, "I checked on him a few minutes ago. He's fine. He's awake and just outside."

"He's in his ship you mean."

"No, he's just outside. I believe he's attempting to repair his ship."

"What? Does he have a death wish? This is a mostly unexplored planet!" Anakin quickly stood up and started to stride towards the exit. "Stay here, I'm going to make him go inside."

Obi-Wan rolled his eyes and waited to see how long it would take before he felt that dreaded tugging forcing him to follow after him. Sure enough, after only a few seconds he started being dragged. Obi-Wan got up with a huff and followed after him, turning invisible to give them the illusion of privacy.

The bright sun had set hours ago and the stars seemed to be dull in comparison. However, the sheer number of them was breathtaking. Two moons could be seen set low in the sky.

Luke was under one of the sides of the ship. Two large pieces of damaged metal were settled to the side of him. It seemed like he had had to pry off the metal hull instead of simply opening a hatch to get to the engines that he was now working on.

Anakin's footsteps faltered as he neared the boy, seemingly just now coming to terms with what he was doing. He came to a halt a good distance away.

"Why are you not inside?" he demanded.

Obi-Wan winced as Luke started and banged his head on the ship in surprise. Luke quickly clambered out from under it and faced the man.

"I need to fix my ship. I figured it was obvious," Luke replied defensively.

Anakin straightened at this, seemingly thinking that two could play at that game. "Tell me," he asked, "What do you know about this planet?"

Luke hesitated.

"What creatures reside here?" Anakin continued.

Luke didn't answer.

"Exactly, you don't know. I suggest you go inside before you get yourself killed."

"I have two lightsabers," Luke pointed out. "I could defend myself."

"You have two lightsabers that you barely know how to hold, much less use," Anakin deadpanned.

'That is true…' Obi-Wan thought a bit regretfully. He had corrected Luke on the way he was gripping the lightsaber before, but it seemed like the boy had simply forgotten.

Luke bristled at this and made a face. "And who's fault is that?"

Anakin started taking a step back before he stopped himself. He stepped forward instead and said, "Go inside. Sleep. You'll work on this in the morning."

Anakin spun around and started marching towards his own ship and Obi-Wan had to dodge to avoid being walked into, but Luke stopped him.

"If it bothers you so much, why don't you teach me?"

Obi-Wan's eyebrows rose, he hadn't expected the boy to be so bold. When Luke had said these words, he had been confident. After Anakin had turned and faced him, however, he seemed to realize what he said and paled. He shrugged shakily.

"How would you know I won't teach you the Dark Side?" Anakin inquired curiously.

"I'm pretty sure lightsaber techniques have no dark and light sides," Luke replied.

"How would you know?"

"You're right, I don't know. I'm taking a chance." Obi-Wan was impressed by Luke's daring words, but his voice was weak as he said them. Luke and Obi-Wan waited to see how Anakin would respond.

Anakin hesitated, "I'll teach you in the morning. You should get some rest," was all he said.

Luke nodded hastily and took a few backward steps towards his ship before turning and simply running there, his excitement seemed to bubble out of him.

Obi-Wan rematerialized behind Anakin so when he turned back around he startled and took a step back.

"I thought I told you to stay in the ship!" Anakin growled.

"You did? My mistake," Obi-Wan said with a smirk as he crossed his arms.

"You are impossible, you know that you old bat?"

"Ah, yes, unfortunately. You, however, should follow your own advice and get some rest. You have a very exciting day tomorrow. Do you think you'll be able to sleep?"

Anakin chuckled, "Like hell I will," he said almost bitterly.

Obi-Wan sobered somewhat at that. "Well, you are welcome to join me in meditation. Shall we be going then?" He gestured towards their own ship.

Anakin nodded and Obi-Wan followed after him inside.

Obi-Wan knew this wasn't going to last forever, but he allowed himself to enjoy this sense of comfortable companionship while he still could.
